Teknik pelacakan browser baru bekerja bahkan saat Anda membersihkan cache atau menggunakan incognito

February 20, 2021 by Winnie the Pooh

Prospek pengguna Web yang dilacak oleh situs yang mereka kunjungi telah mendorong beberapa tindakan pencegahan selama bertahun-tahun, termasuk menggunakan Privacy Badger atau ekstensi anti-pelacakan alternatif, mengaktifkan sesi penjelajahan pribadi atau penyamaran (incognito), atau menghapus cookie. Sekarang, situs web memiliki cara baru untuk mengalahkan ketiganya.

Teknik ini memanfaatkan penggunaan favicon, ikon kecil yang ditampilkan situs web di tab browser dan daftar bookmark pengguna.

Peneliti dari University of Illinois, Chicago mengatakan dalam makalah baru bahwa sebagian besar browser menyimpan gambar dalam cache di lokasi yang terpisah dari yang digunakan untuk menyimpan data situs, riwayat penjelajahan, dan cookie. Situs web dapat menyalahgunakan pengaturan ini dengan memuat serangkaian favicon pada peramban pengunjung yang secara unik mengidentifikasinya selama periode waktu yang lama.

Serangan tersebut bekerja terhadap Chrome, Safari, Edge, dan hingga saat ini Brave, yang mengembangkan countermeasure yang efektif setelah menerima laporan pribadi dari para peneliti. Firefox juga rentan terhadap teknik ini, tetapi bug mencegah serangan tersebut bekerja saat ini.

Situs web menggunakan Favicons untuk membantu pengguna lebih mudah mengidentifikasi halaman yang saat ini terbuka di tab browser atau disimpan dalam daftar bookmark.

Browser menyimpan ikon dalam cache sehingga mereka tidak perlu memintanya berulang kali. Cache ini tidak dikosongkan saat pengguna menghapus cache atau cookie browser mereka, atau saat mereka beralih ke mode penjelajahan pribadi.

Situs web dapat mengeksploitasi perilaku ini dengan menyimpan kombinasi favicon tertentu saat pengguna pertama kali mengunjunginya, lalu memeriksa gambar tersebut saat pengguna mengunjungi kembali situs tersebut, sehingga memungkinkan situs web tersebut mengidentifikasi browser bahkan saat pengguna telah mengambil tindakan aktif untuk mencegah pelacakan.
